Uncompromised sound quality

The DRX-4.2 combines noise-free processing with high-current power for rich, dynamic sound. Its premium 32-bit/384kHz digital-to-analog converter unlocks the potential of any audio format. Integra's specialized Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) filters out noise across the receiver's two front channels for faithful reproduction of the original audio signal.

Plenty of streaming music choices

Connect the DRX-4.2 to your wireless router via Ethernet cable to access built-in support for popular streaming services like Spotify® and Pandora®. Apple® AirPlay® lets you stream from compatible iOS® devices. Use the Integra Control Pro app to control streaming from your Apple, Android™ or Kindle device.

Chromecast built-in and Google Home voice control

Chromecast built-in lets you use your phone, tablet, or computer to stream music to the receiver from over 100 audio apps. With a Google Home voice assistant or the Google Home app, you can use your voice to control playback and connect with other Chromecast built-in devices for wireless music throughout your home.

Works with Sonos

The DRX-4.2 also works great as a component in your Sonos wireless multi-room music system. Just add a Sonos Connect and you can send any music or audio source from the Sonos app to the receiver. It'll even automatically turn on and switch to the correct input when you fire it up in the Sonos app.

DTS Play-Fi for a flexible wireless multi-room music system

DTS Play-Fi gives you the freedom to mix and match Play-Fi devices from different brands. Use the Play-Fi app to queue up songs, play and pause music, and control multiple Play-Fi speakers and components throughout your home.

Receiver must be connected to a router via Ethernet cable to access wireless streaming services.

Customizable speaker connections

The DRX-4.2 has outputs for 11 speakers, allowing for different home theater and wired multi-room music configurations. (Just remember, its nine amplifier channels can't power more than nine speakers at once.) You can use all nine channels in a 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X™ system, or you can go with a more modest surround sound setup and repurpose the extra channels in one of a few ways.

The receiver's "Height 1" speaker outputs can be used to bi-amp your front left and right speakers for more powerful sound. Or you can connect a pair of speakers for stereo sound in another room. If you're happy with 5.2-channel surround sound in your living room, you can have two wired stereo music zones in other rooms.

You can also connect a stereo receiver or amplifier through line-level Zone 2 and Zone 3 connections and use the DRX-4.2 as a preamp, so you can use all nine channels for surround sound in your home theater and still get stereo sound in up to two additional rooms.

Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (Front Channels Only):
Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) reassembles the signal in its
original form following processing. Unlike conventional filters, VLSC
removes pulse noise generated in D/A conversion, allowing the sound wave to
be reproduced with extremely high fidelity for a smooth analog signal. The
signal's data is converted between sampling points and joined with analog
vectors in real time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result is a
virtually noiseless, smooth, analog signal that brings out even the most
subtle of nuances in music sources.

AccuEQ Advance Calibration w/ AccuReflex: The DRX-4.2
incorporates AccuEQ Advance calibration technology and comes with an auto
calibration microphone. AccuEQ Advance calibration technology reveals the true
potential of your speakers by eliminating standing waves from your listening
space using multipoint measurements. These acoustic peaks distort the audio
image and prevent your loudspeakers from voicing the sound as their designers
intended. AccuEQ Advance also utilizes Partial Band Equalization and only
corrects frequency response below a certain point, leaving high-order harmonics
untouched - so your speakers are free to reproduce the emotion in the recording
faithfully and naturally. In addition, AccuEQ Advance includes three memory
presets you can use to save your own customized EQ settings, perhaps tailored to
suit different content such as movies, music, or games.

Speaker Measurement: The first-round of AccuEQ Advance
measurements set the distance, sound pressure level, and crossover of your
speakers. Distance and level calibration ensure all channels are treated
equally. Crossover measurement selects the correct point to roll off
low-frequency sound to the subwoofer for seamless speaker integration.

Room Measurements: In the second round of AccuEQ
Advance measurements, your room's sonic characteristics are evaluated. Using
this information, AccuEQ Advance is able to prevent standing waves from
forming by adjusting frequency response. AccuEQ Advance even listens and
compensates for the subtlest background noise (such as the hum of an HVAC)
to ensure a higher degree of measurement precision.

AccuReflex Measurements: AccuEQ Advance also
incorporates AccuReflex technology to align the phase of up-firing "height"
speakers with the sound coming directly from your other speakers. Any delay
is resolved so that everything arrives at your ears at the same time. The
result is cohesive reproduction of object-based soundtracks.

Note: You can choose to bypass AccuEQ Advance for your
front speakers or all speakers, and manually set the distance, crossover,
EQ, and level of each speaker.

THX Certified Select:
THX Certified Select guarantees the same high-volume sound you experience at
a commercial theater in your home. To gain certification, amplifiers must pass
the industry's most severe bench-tests covering every aspect of audio
performance to satisfy THX requirements. THX spends 40-60 hours testing over
2000 data points ensuring that the receiver is capable of meeting rigorous audio
and video performance standards for reference level, distortion-free playback.
THX delivers superior sound quality for movie, music, and gaming soundtracks
through the use of the following advanced technologies and listening modes.

ASA (Advanced Speaker Array): ASA is a technology
patented by THX to provide a broad surround sound experience by adjusting
the side and back surround speaker sounds respectively. When installing the
surround back speakers, first select the distance between the two surround
back speakers in the THX Audio settings. This setting optimizes the surround
sound environment.

Adaptive Decorrelation: In a movie theater, a large
number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound
experience. If a home theater only has two sidewall surround speakers, the
surround speakers may sound similar to headphones lacking spaciousness and
envelopment. Surround sounds will also collapse toward the closet speaker as
you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation
slightly changes one surround channel's time and phase relationship with
respect to the other surround experience as in a movie theater using only
two rear speakers.

RE-EQ & Timbre Matching: Many movie soundtracks are
mixed in studios for playback in large cinema auditoriums with an array of
speakers. When played on home systems, they may appear abrasive and edgy.
Re-EQ establishes a more accurate tonal balance when enjoying movies in your
home. Your ears hear different tonal qualities in sounds coming from
different directions. Timbre Matching restores the frequency balance between
your front and surround speakers ensuring seamless and smooth panning
between the front to back of the room.

Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) & THX Loudness Plus:
Sitting near a wall may result in distorted bass response. BGC corrects the
way low frequency sound is perceived when seated near a wall. This results
in a more accurate bass response. THX Loudness Plus is a volume control
technology that automatically adjusts the front-to-back speaker level
relationship as you turn the volume down. With THX Loudness Plus home
theater audiences can now experience surround sound at any volume level.

Listening Modes: Choose between 4 THX Listening Modes -
THX Cinema, THX Game, THX Music, and THX Surround EX. THX Cinema recreates
the ambiance of the movie theater by positioning the 5.1, 7.1and immersive
mixes to submerse you in the movie's soundtrack. THX Game distributes the
sound effects and dialogue generated by the game engine by placing the audio
from a 5.1, 7.1 or immersive mix to the appropriate "action" location -
creating 360-degree gaming experience. THX Music emulates the original
studio environment for the 5.1, 7.1 or immersive mix for an accurate and
increased sense of spaciousness and localization - placing you directly in
the recording session. THX Surround EX decodes the third surround channel
from the traditional two surround channels to create a more immersive
entertainment experience.

Note: THX Certified Select is suitable for medium sized
rooms, up to 2,000 cubic feet in size, with a 10-12 foot viewing distance
from the screen.

Dolby Atmos: The Integra AV receiver will enhance
properly designed systems with
Dolby Atmos where sound comes alive from all directions, including
overhead, to fill the home theater with astonishing clarity, power, detail
and depth. The DRX-4.2 has the processing power to run a more enveloping
7ch, 9ch, or 11ch Dolby Atmos layout using a 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7.1.2, or 7.1.4*
configuration with ceiling mounted, or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers (sold
separately). *A 7.1.4 configuration requires an additional power amplifier
to power the Surround Back speakers.

DTS:X: DTS:X will be enabled through an online firmware
update coming later this year.
DTS:X is the next generation object-based, multi-dimensional audio
technology from DTS. Unbound from channels, DTS:X conveys the fluid movement
of sound to create an incredibly rich, realistic and immersive soundscape -
in front of, behind, beside and above the audience - more accurately than
ever before. DTS:X offers the ability to automatically adapt the audio to
the speaker layout that best fits your space.

Dolby Surround:
Dolby Surround offers an enhanced cinema experience to your 2ch or
multichannel movie soundtracks using your existing 5.1ch, 7.1ch or Dolby
Atmos speaker setup. Dolby Surround enhances audio definition by improving
the spatial dimension and overall audio definition of movie soundtracks. It
does this by using four distinct surround zones that provide greater control
over the exact placement of each detail in a movie sound track, so audio can
be matched more accurately to the video on screen; this means more depth and
greater realism for your movies. As a result, individual sounds are clearer
and more distinct. It also improves the surround sound experience across the
entire theater by widening the listening "sweet spot".

DTS Neural:X: DTS Neural:X will be enabled through an
online firmware update coming later this year. DTS:X incorporates Neural:X,
the latest spatial remapping technology from DTS, which provides a fully
immersive output for all types of source content; this includes DTS
bitstreams and non-encoded (PCM) data. Neural:X delivers a thrilling sense
of immersive sound to your speaker layout regardless of the original source
format.

DSP Listening Modes: DSP Listening Modes, combined
with Dolby Digital & DTS processing, produce more realistic, powerful
sound effects for your movie and music sound tracks based on the type of
content and your home theater setup. You can choose from the following:

Orchestra: Suitable for classical or operatic music.
This mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the sound
image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Studio-Mix: Suitable for rock or pop music. Listening
to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic
image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic: Suitable for TV shows produced in a TV
studio. This mode enhances the surround effects to the entire sound to give
clarity to voices and create a realistic acoustic image.

Unplugged: Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals
and jazz. This mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression
of being right in front of the stage.

Multichannel (Multich)/Game:
Multichannel mode is suitable for playing sources recorded in multichannel
PCM. The preamplifier also offers four different Gaming modes - RPG, Action,
Rock, and Sports.

Stereo/All Channel Stereo (AllCh Stereo): In Stereo
mode, sound is output from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
In All Channel Stereo Mode, stereo sound is output from all speakers - ideal
for background music.

Mono/Full Mono: In Mono mode, when the input signal is
analog or PCM, the left and right front speakers output the sound in
monaural. In Full Mono mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so
the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the
listening room.

Theater-Dimensional (T-D): In this mode, you can enjoy
a virtual playback of multichannel surround sound even with only two or
three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener's
left and right ears

CinemaFilter: The CinemaFilter softens overly bright
movie soundtracks. Movie soundtracks are typically mixed for a large theater
(relative to your home theater) with lots of soft seats and thick curtains
on the walls. Home theater settings often lack these high frequency
absorbing wall treatments, making the soundtrack sound too bright.
CinemaFilter accounts for this and for many movies sounds more natural at
home.

Music Optimizer: The Music Optimizer function enhances
the sound quality of compressed music files. The Music Optimizer function
only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below
48kHz and analog input signals.

Late Night Feature: The Late Night feature limits the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital recordings. Limiting the dynamic range makes
it easier to find a volume that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet
and the loud sounds are not too loud for night time listening. This allows
you to comfortably listen to without the need to constantly adjust the
volume to keep from waking family/neighbors. The choices are: Off, Low, and
High. This feature only works with Dolby Digital Encoded software and the
depth of the feature will vary based on the individual software package.

Bass Management: The Integra AV receiver offers Tone Control
and Double Bass feature to get the most bass impact out of your system. You can
independently adjust the Bass (20Hz) and Treble (20kHz) of the receiver's Front
L/R channels from -10 to +10 dB. You can also activate the
Double Bass function in order to boost bass output even more by feeding bass
sounds to the front left/right speakers, center-channel, and powered subwoofer.

IntelliVolume: With IntelliVolume, you can set the
input level for each input (+/-12dB) selector individually. This is useful
if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. This
function does not work in Zone 2 or 3.

Maximum Volume: Use this feature to set the receiver's
maximum volume level for the Main Zone, Zone 2, and Zone d. This feature is useful to
avoid turning the volume too loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume
from 50-99 (max), or Off (disabled).

Power On Volume: Use this feature to set the volume
level when the power is turned on in the Mainz Zone, Zone 2, and Zone 3. You can
choose between Last (same as the volume when the unit was turned off), Min
(0), or 1-99.

Mute Level: Set the volume lowered from the listening
volume when "Mute" is selected. Choose from 0, -40dB, or -20 dB.

Headphone Level: With this setting, you can specify the
headphone volume (+/-12dB) relative to the main volume. This is useful if
there's a volume difference between your speakers and your headphones.

Analog Audio Outputs: The Integra DRX-4.2 is outfitted with
the following analog audio outputs.

11.2ch Pre-Outs: The Integra DRX-4.2 features 11.2ch
pre-outs (Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back, Height 1, Height 2, and
Dual Subwoofer) for connection of an external power amplifier or amplifiers.
The pre-outs are variable. The dual sub outputs are wired in parallel and
share the same input signal (they are not discrete).

Headphones: When headphones are plugged into the
full-size 1/4" jack on the front panel, all the speakers are automatically
muted.

Phono Input: The DRX-4.2 has a discrete low-noise phono
pre-amp and is outfitted with Phono (MM) input for connection of a turntable
with a moving magnet cartridge so you can enjoy listening to your vinyl records.
There is also a ground screw terminal.

4K/60Hz + HDCP 2.2: The DRX-4.2 supports up to 4K (3840x2160
pixels) video @ 60 frames per second on
all of its HDMI inputs and outputs. It will also pass a 480p, 720p, 1080i,
or 1080p video signals via HDMI (not compatible with 480i video signals).
The receivers HDMI inputs and HDMI
outputs support HDCP 2.2, which fully complies with the latest copyright
protection standard for 4K video transmission.

4:4:4 Color Subsampling: The receiver's HDMI inputs and
HDMI outputs support RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0
color subsampling (@ 60Hz or 50Hz). With 4:4:4 color subsampling, luminance
(brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate; resulting in
an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image
with more colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail.

Wide Color Gamut (BT.2020): The BT.2020 color standard
delivers a much wider color gamut and represents about 75% of the total
visual color spectrum, while the current Rec. 709 color standard selected as
the color space for HDTVs and early generation 4K Ultra HDTVs covers only
35% of the total visual color spectrum.

Note: The front-panel HDMI input only supports up to 4K/60Hz @ 4:2:2 or 4K/30Hz @ 4:4:4.

HDR 10: HDR 10 is an open standard and currently the
most popular HDR format on the market. It supports 10-bit color and 1,000
nits. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the receiver
and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR.

HLG: HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) is primarily designed for
live video feed and over-the-air broadcasts. It uses no pre-encoded metadata
and is backwards compatible with SDR. HLG's native compatibility allows much
of today's existing SDR infrastructure to be re-used for HDR in the future.

Dolby Vision: Unlike HDR 10 which contains static
metadata and HLG which uses no metadata, Dolby Vision utilizes dynamic
metadata which adjusts brightness, color, and contrast automatically for
each scene. Dynamic metadata carries information that maps every image to
your TV's display capabilities, so you see more of what the content creator
intended. Dolby Vision supports 12-bit color and 10,000 nits.

Dual HDMI Outputs: The dual HDMI outputs can simultaneously
output the same audio/video signal to two TVs, or you can assign the second HDMI
output to Zone 2 to display a different HDMI source (1-2-3 inputs) in another
room; video is output at the resolution supported by both TVs.

Analog Video-to-HDMI Conversion:
Analog composite and component video signals (480i only) input to the receiver
will be converted to HDMI signals and then output from the receiver via its main
HDMI monitor output to your TV. The resolution remains the same and is not
upscaled.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The receiver's MAIN HDMI monitor
output features ARC (Audio Return Channel). This feature allows audio to be
sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to your television.

Deep Color & x.v.Color Support: The AV receiver
supports Deep Color and x.v.Color content, which can display a larger color
range than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike,
vibrant picture

3D-Ready: All HDMI jacks will accept 3D video from your
3D-ready Blu-ray player and output the video signal in 3D to your 3D-ready
flat-panel television.

AV Sync: The AV Sync feature can automatically
synchronize HDMI audio and video (for any HDMI jack) that has gotten out of
sync due to the complex digital video processing being performed by your
HDMI-compatible TV. With AV Sync, the audio delay required to synchronize
the audio and video is calculated and applied automatically by the AV
receiver. You can also manually correct the audio delay from 0 (no delay) to
500 milliseconds; in 5 millisecond steps.

HDMI Through: When enabling the HDMI Through function,
regardless of whether the AV receiver is "O" or in "Standby", both audio/video
streams from an HDMI input will be output to your television, via the receiver
HDMI monitor output. You can select between three HDMI Through modes.

Auto: Detects the signal and automatically selects the
input sources.

Source: Selects the HDMI input source for which the
HDMI Through function in enabled.

Last: The HDMI Through function is activated on the
input source selected at the time of setting the AV receiver to the
"standby" mode.

Analog Video Inputs: The receiver features two composite
video inputs and two component video inputs which support 480i video signals
only. All analog video input signals are converted to digital and sent via HDMI
to your TV at 480i (no upscaling). The component video inputs are not capable of
high-definition video.

HDBaseT Compatible: HDBaseT is a newer standardized method
to transmit 4K UltraHD and digital audio much farther than is recommended over
HDMI alone. HDBaseT allows signals to be transmitted up to 328' utilizing
cat5e/cat6 cable to any certified third party HDBaseT controller or device that
has its own power supply. This makes long distance runs to projectors or a
second zone easy and reliable. The HDBaseT connection of the DRX-4.2 consists of
a HDMI input and Ethernet output. The HDMI input can be used to connect the AV
receiver's Main HDMI output or Sub/Zone 2 HDMI output (but not both) using the
included 15" HDMI cable. The Ethernet out lets you connect a cat5e/cat6 cable
and run it to a compatible HDBaseT receiver (such as the Integra
HDB-RX1; sold separately) before connecting it to your display.

Video Select: It is possible to play audio and video from
different sources. For example, you can play audio via the Network and video from
your BD/DVD player. This function is only effective when an input with audio
only (Network or Tuner) has been selected initially.

Multiroom Audio/Video Playback

Zone 2 HDMI Output: The Integra DRX-4.2 provides a Zone 2 HDMI
output, so two different HDMI audio/video feeds can be sent to two different
displays at the same time directly from the receiver (HDMI 1-2-3 connected input
sources only). HDMI Zone 2 will output up to 4K video and 2-channel audio for
the HDMI input source selected. Video will be output at the highest resolution
supported by both TVs. If you have the same HDMI source playing back in the main
room and Zone 2, then the main room is also limited to 2ch PCM audio.

Note: HDMI Zone 2 can also be setup through the AV receiver's HDBaseT
connection (see Video Section for further details).

Zone 2 (Line or Speaker Level): In addition to the main
listening room, you can enjoy audio playback of the same source or a different
source in another room of your home using the receiver's Zone 2 function. The
receiver features Zone 2 line-outputs, as well as Zone 2 speaker terminals. You
can play the same audio source in both Zones (Main & Zone 2) or play a different
audio source in each zone. Zone 2 is compatible with analog, digital, and
network audio sources - see below for details.

Line-Level or Speaker-Level:

Line-Level Outputs: By using the line-level outputs
on the DRX-4.2 you can connect an external receiver or integrated
amplifier in a second room, allowing you to listen to 9.1ch or 7.1.2ch
surround in the main room and play a different audio source in another
room of your home. The volume of Zone 2 can be controlled from the
DRX-4.2 or your add-on integrated amplifier/receiver.

Speaker Level Outputs: By using the speaker-level
outputs on the DRX-4.2, you can directly connect a secondary pair of
speakers in another room of your home, allowing you to listen to 7.1ch
or 5.1.2ch surround sound in your main room and play a different audio
source in the other room. The volume of Zone 2 is controlled from the
receiver.

As for Network and USB, you cannot select different inputs for the
main room and Zone 2. For example, if a Network source has been selected
in the main room and then USB is selected as a playback source in Zone
2, the input in the main room will also change to the USB source.

When listening to AM/FM or Internet radio, you cannot select
different stations for the main room and Zone 2.

Zone 3 (Line or Speaker Level): In addition to the main
listening room and Zone 2, you can also enjoy audio playback of the same source
or a different source in a third room of your home using the receiver's Zone 3
function. The receiver features Zone 3 line-outputs, as well as Zone 3 speaker
terminals. You can play the same audio source in each Zone or play a different
audio source in every Zone. Zone 3 is compatible with analog, network, and
digital (USB only), audio sources - see below for details.

Line-Level or Speaker-Level:

Line-Level Outputs: By using the line-level outputs
on the DRX-4.2 you can connect an external receiver or integrated
amplifier in a second room, allowing you to listen to 9.1ch or 7.1.2ch
surround in the main room and play a different audio source in another
room of your home. The volume of Zone 3 can be controlled from the
DRX-4.2 or your add-on integrated amplifier/receiver.

Speaker Level Outputs: By using the speaker-level
outputs on the DRX-4.2, you can directly connect a secondary pair of
speakers in another room of your home, allowing you to listen surround
sound in your main room and play a different audio source in the other
room. If you are only powering Zone 3 from the receiver (and Zone 2 is
using line-level and an external amplifier), the receiver is limited to
7.1ch or 5.1.2ch in the main room. If you are powering both Zone 2 and
Zone 3 from the Integra DRX-4.2, the receiver will be limited to 5.1ch
surround in the main room. The volume of Zone 3 is controlled from the
receiver.

As for Network and USB, you cannot select different inputs for the
main room and Zone 3. For example, if a Network source has been selected
in the main room and then USB is selected as a playback source in Zone
3, the input in the main room will also change to the USB source.

When listening to AM/FM or Internet radio, you cannot select
different stations for the main room and Zone 3.

Google Home Multiroom: Using the Google Home app for
Apple iOS 8.0+ and
Android OS 4.0.3+, you can sync multiple speakers with Chromecast built-in
in multiple rooms of your home to play the same song from a Chromecast built-in
